I think Anthony may still be nursing an injury. It's the only explanation I can come up with. Still, it's possible he doesn't have the intelligence needed for a cerebral defense or it could be the coaching. I'm leaning toward coaching.

Rugs, check the posts, the Saints coaches, specifically Dennis Allen is not happy with his play nor his ability to grasp what they want from Stephone Anthony...

But you got it right at the end, it's the coaching; I'm always wary of coaching that says things like "he's not adapting to what we want from him" when football is not rocket science - "see ball, get ball."

We've got another wannabe Belichick who's going the Rob Ryan route of writing an Grande Opus for a defensive playbook...

If we drafted Peat in the first round with the intention of making him the next starter at RT and he ends up being the starter at LG for a bunch of years I will be happy with that too.
Guards are so important that they warrant first round picks.

In my mind, an ideal first round pick should play right away, be at a ProBowl level by their third year and with really good offensive players (e.g. QB, WR, OL) stay with the organization 8-10 years...

I would agree but the world is very seldom ideal so if you can get a solid starter that's pretty good too.
